Episode 13: Read With Me - Aspergirls by Rudy Simone 02.07.2023 24:18

"Aspergirls: Empowering Females with Asperger Syndrome" was the first book I purchased on the subject of neurodivergence. It had come highly recommended and I am glad to have added it to my reading list! Here are my thoughts on a few of the chapters and some personal anecdotes. x Lauren Blog: https://lmnpodcast.wixsite.com/lmnpodcast/post/doctors-missed-my-adhd-autism-audhd-for-12-years-...

Episode 12: I Am Still Trying To Get It Together 28.06.2023 24:16

An update and some thoughts on the cumulative effect of being burned out from ADHD + Autistic burnout, including severe physical symptoms.

This feels like the perfect storm for another meltdown - being taken out of my routine while in survival mode, otherwise known as ADHD + Autistic burnout. Will my coping strategies be enough to get me through?

Episode 5: First Autism Assessment and My Experience with Medical Gaslighting 27.05.2023 16:27

Gaslighting is a term for when someone makes you doubt your reality or memory - and certainly something I never thought I would experience with a trusted medical professional. Still, it finally got me to someone qualified to diagnose autism in adults (women, in particular!) and this is how it went. x Lauren Blog: https://lmnpodcast.wixsite.com/lmnpodcast/post/doctors-missed-my-adhd-autism-audhd-fo...

Autism and ADHD (AuDHD) may make for some amusing-ish anecdotes but if there is a spare copy of this secret friendship guidebook that everyone else seems to have, please send it my way kthnx! x Lauren Blog: https://lmnpodcast.wixsite.com/lmnpodcast/post/doctors-missed-my-...

Episode 2: My ADHD Fell Through The Cracks… Now, Autism? 08.05.2023 12:46

Late-diagnosed neurodivergence is such a trip in itself - but what if the mental health professionals already in charge of your care (for over a decade) did not put together all of the signs and symptoms? This is where the journey gets a little bumpy so strap in. x Lauren Blog: https://lmnpodcast.wixsite.com/lmnpodcast/post/doctors-missed-my-adhd-autism-audhd-for-12-years-an-essay Email: littlemis...
